Ok is anyone a little worried about our O-Line going forward...especially a patch work O-line. I really think this has been the main regression this yr for us. I mean Kaep is literally a rook, just about but given the play last yr from the O-line, to this year has shown some regression. Even as a whole they've been sloppy, getting beat off the line easily, seems like Kaep just hasn't had the time.
Yesterday given the circumstances I was impressed with the emergency fill in, but going fwd starting this weekend if we are going to be out Staley, & the Samoan damn man this is going to be hard.
We couldn't really run the ball...again. Seattle has a damn good front line too.

The coaches have been grooming Looney & Kilgore to fill in and eventually take over for Goodwin.
Time has come for them to show their stuff.
Looney did well not great but well.
Seattle will be the acid test.

we will be fine. liek Amp said, boone is the man and can play for staley, the other two guys have been here long enough to fill in and play well. our depth is being tested as it has been all year and I think we will be just fine

when you're missing your 2 pro bowlers and have 3 guys in new spots cus of it of course theres a cause for a concern. having said that alex boone is probably our best lineman all season and he held the fort down vs the best DE in the nfl this season. yes it will be mix and match for a little bit but it'll be fine IMO.

yup ...it's not like we are throwing someone off the street in the lineup, Looney and Kilgore have been waiting in the wings for awhile now, they are familiar with our attack and should be ready to fully take advantage of this opportunity, it's going to be difficult replacing 2 pro bowl offensive lineman , but our Line should be prepared to fight with the Seahawks defensive line this weekend

Our O-line should be healthy and ready for the playoffs

St. Louis has a very good pass rush, and we held up pretty well after Staley went down. More troubling is the run game - we haven't been very effective in that department with Iupati out.

I couldn't agree anymore... If Boone didn't have a drinking problem coming out of college he would have been a 1st rounder for sure..and honestly I think I have faith in looney and Kilgore to rotate and do the job...I also have faith in Adam Snyder..if anything Seattle needs to worry about us throwing the ball all over on them with there corners suspended for being cheaters and druggies lol..

This is the truth. Iupati and Staley are hurting, but they will be back in time for the playoffs.
Boone is a beast. He just might be a better left tackle than Staley is.
Joe better hurry back!

This. We need Iupati back for the run game.
